Life as a Mom, A Homesteader, A Blogger and A Wife.

I spent a little time thinking about my post yesterday and how to combat it. I am not in a position to go out and change my wardrobe or get an expensive hair cut and color or the typical retail therapy. Instead I am left to my own devices. So here is what I have come up with:

- Exercise every day. Even if it means running around the house for 10 minutes with the girls... then I'll take it. Maybe it will make me interested in actually doing REAL exercise (which I am not a huge fan of).

- Cutting out carbs and sugar again. It worked last year (I lost over 25 pounds) and hopefully it will work again.

- Taking five minutes in the morning to look at myself in the mirror. Not to shun myself for being a mess but to think about *myself* before I walk out the door. I am not sure that I will get to this every day but I'm going to try.

- The biggest one I am going to try to tackle is to lead by example. I don't want my kids to grow up and remember their Mom not liking herself. So I want to exercise with them and cook healthy food with them and talk about positive body image with them. I want them to remember learning healthy choices from me... not apathetic ones.

About this blog

Over 8 years we have struggled through 3 IUI's, 6 rounds of IVF, several RE's, hundreds of appointments and the loss of three little angels. Now we find ourselves the proud parents of two perfect little girls and a wonderful little boy!!

Both of our girls struggle with some disabilities but that won't keep us down. Each day has it's own brand of insanity but we love it. Most days I am more monkey wrangler than mother but I do the best I can. Todays goal - getting to tomorrow.
